EoE is an increasingly recognized clinicopathological diagnosis, characterized by a marked accumulation of eosinophils in the esophageal mucosa.The presence of eosinophils and association of the disease with food allergy and allergic rhinitis suggests an atopic disease. Allergic diseases are associated with T-helper 2 lymphocytes (TH2) predominant cytokines such as interleukins 4, 5, 13 (IL4, IL5, IL13), which are known to induce IgE synthesis and promote eosinophilic infiltration. Granulocyte-Monocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) and Transforming Growth Factor (TGF) - beta are cytokines which are associated with many eosinophilic disorders. Swallowed steroid is a conventional treatment that has been shown to improve symptoms and decrease number of eosinophils in the esophagus in patients with EoE. However, no studies have investigated the effect of swallowed steroid on markers of TH2 inflammation in adult patients with EoE.Currently repeated endoscopic biopsy of esophagus is the only tool to monitor response to treatment. Serum ultra- sensitive CRP is a non-invasive marker of inflammation in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disorders. This study proposes to investigate the correlation of disease activity with this potential marker of inflammation in adult patients with EoE which has not been previously studied.
